WASHINGTON, D. C.—The recent attempted general strike in France calls attention to the complex so- cial and economic set-up that or- dinarily runs the affairs of ‘‘fifty- million Frenchmen’ and their huge colonial empire. ‘As an individual European state, France is a compact geographic unit organized on the ‘home town’ eco- nomic model,” says the National Geographic society. “Few French cities have a popula- tion of half a million. Small scale and varied industries are wide- spread over the land, some 90 per cent of all French factories hiring less than 100 workers each. National activities, almost equally divided between farming and business en- terprises, are largely in the hands of petty property owners. Rules Territorial Giant. “Yet this nation of proverbial ‘stay-at-homes,” with a reputation for caution, thrift, and domestic skills, is nevertheless the head and brains of a territorial giant whose members make up a foreign do- main second only to that of Great Britain. Like the British empire, although little more than one-third the area of that colossus, French colonists and dependencies are scat- tered about the world’s continents and most of its seas. “France itself occupies an area of something more than 200,000 square miles. It is the third largest nation in Europe; while abroad, the tri- color flies over an empire more than 20 times the size of the mother country, including an estimated 65,- 000,000 people of many races, creeds and cultures. “To France—handicapped at home by searcity of coal and other raw materials—these far flung posses- sions present a tremendous reser- voir of still-untapped economic wealth. “The roll call of French posses- sions, dependencies and mandates around the globe reads like the index to a gazeteer. In north, cen- tral and west Africa are Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, the French Congo (or French Equatorial Africa), Sene- gal, French Guinea, the Ivory Coast, Dahomey, French Sudan, Mauritania, Niger, and Dakar—to- gether with French Somaliland, a small patch of land on the east coast, and the major portions of for- mer German colonies of di and Cameroun, under the bulge of the Great west African shoulder. ‘Under mandate, with promise of early self rule, are Syria and Le- banon in the Near East. In north- ern South America is rich, sultry French Guiana, with its penal set- tlement ‘Devil’s Island.’ “Such oriental tongue twisters as Pondichery, Karikal, Chandernagor, Mahe, and Yanaon are French specks on the map of India; while Cochin-China, Annam, Cambodia, Tonking, and Laos making up French Indo-China, plus Kwangcho- wan, leased from China, are other Asiatic possessions. “To all these far-flung continental regions must also be added a French island empire that dots open water from Corsica in the Mediter- ranean and New Caledonia and New Hebrides in the south Pacific, to Miquelon and St. Pierre in the North Atlantic, and Martinique and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean. “Madagascar, off the coast of southeast Africa, is something more than an ocean ‘dot’ of French terri- tory. Bigger than France itself, and world’s fourth largest island, it cov- ers an area of some 240,000 square miles, with more than three million “In the French colonial empire are found most of the earth’s prod- ucts needed to carry on modern in- dustry or warfare. During the World war her colonies contributed to France an estimated half million soldiers and workers, together with millions of tons of supplies. “Today, France seeks one answer to pressing economic problems at home in new and intensified drives to tap the resources of her foreign domain. The French Colonial office, according to news accounts, is now carrying out plans to build up trade, improve local politics, provide for the empire’s defense, and in general develop its vast potential wealth in materials and markets.” Well Drilled 25 Years Ago Now Yields Oil MOUNT AUBURN, ILL.— rising to the top of the well cas- ing, an oil prospecting crew un- der direction of George W.
